Reviews"[Ryan Grim] needs to do his own show. He's really good . . . objective . . .no bullshit rhetoric." -- Joe Rogan "If you've been reading Ryan Grim's consistently groundbreaking reporting over the past decade, the recent monumental shift in our politics came as little surprise. For anybody who wants to understand where we've been and where we're going, The Squad is an essential read." -- Naomi Klein, New York Times bestselling author "[Grim] has become one of the most authoritative voices in Washington on a wide range of topics, but his specialty has always been giving voice to the voiceless and taking on powerful institutions trying to screw over the most vulnerable among us." -- Lydia Polgreen, New York Times columnist "Political reporter Grim, D.C. bureau chief for the Intercept , examines the rise, challenges, and influence of six aggressive left-wing politicians: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Ilhan Omar, branded by the media as The Squad, and the two representatives who joined them in 2021, Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush...Drawing on his own on-the-ground reporting, Grim creates a detailed account of seven tumultuous years. An insider's often dismaying picture of national politics." -- Kirkus Reviews "Insightful.... Grim skillfully elucidates the political substance beneath the bewildering complexity of congressional legislating, election strategizing, and influence peddling, conveying it all in prose that's perceptive and pithy...The result is a fresh and penetrating take on a divided Democratic Party." -- Publisher's Weekly, "[Ryan Grim] needs to do his own show.

SynopsisIn Early 2019, AOC sat down with her staff and opened the discussion: Do we vote against this funding proposal for the Department of Homeland Security? She laid out the terms of the debate to her team. The bill includes money for things that we don't support, and we might be the only vote against it. Meanwhile, it won't become law. It's a messaging bill, and the message is that Democrats are being the adults in the room, while Trump has a tantrum. Voting no and drawing a line in the sand now, she said, would mean they'd have to vote against all future government funding bills. "Where do we draw that line?" she asked. "What is enough?" Before she could finish the question, Corbin Trent interrupted with an answer in the form of his own question: "Yeah, what is enough to fund a fascist agency that cages children?" Nobody had an answer. "We all just kind of looked at each other," her aide Dan Riffle recalled. "Like, nothing. Nothing is enough. So, we're a 'no' on this." Corbin's intervention had ended the conversation, but it was clear that what they were trying to do was going to be a challenge. "You could see not just her, but me, everybody in the office, sort of like doing the thing" Riffle said. "It's going to be hard," he realized. "It's going to be hard for us to be principled here.", Semafor 's Best Political Book of 2023 A riveting insider account of the progressive movement in Congress centering A.O.C., Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Ayanna Pressley, and Ilhan Omar--their rise, their efforts to set an ambitious agenda for the country, and their struggle to find their footing within the Democratic party. The Squad is the definitive, must-read book about the most exciting figures defining our new era. The story is urgent, and the stakes are high--for the country and the world--and Grim, an experienced political reporter who covered the Squad before they were the Squad, is uniquely qualified to tell it. When Bernie Sanders, an obscure Vermont senator, launched his quixotic 2016 presidential campaign, few could have seen just how radically the Democratic Party would transform in just a few short years--or that such a transformation could be led by a Bronx bartender volunteering for Bernie in her spare time. The world as it was when that campaign began is almost unrecognizable today, and the Squad has both shaped and been shaped by the seismic social, cultural, and political changes underway. Referred to informally as the Squad, led by the preternaturally politically savvy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the group laid down a marker for an aggressive left-wing agenda. Grim takes you behind the scenes as that new energy makes impact with Washington, and the Squad spends as much time fending off assaults from Donald Trump--who regularly singled them out and led chants of "send them back" at rallies--as they did battling their own party's sclerotic leadership. As they've grown in office, they've had to contend with the eternal question that confronts outsiders who power their way into the inside: Are they still radical organizers willing and able to lead a political revolution?
